This is the best way to cook a turkey. It's so tender and delicious! Also, this link is very helpful to know how long to cook turkeys.
This is different because you bake the turkey upside down.

Apple Pie
This is our favorite apple pie recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
7 to 8 c. thinly sliced, peeled apples
1 T. lemon juice
Pastry for double-crust pie
1 Tablespoon butter
1 egg white (opt)
Additional sugar
In small bowl, combine sugar, flour and spices; set aside. In large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss well to coat. Line a 9-inch pie pan with half the pastry. Place apple filling into crust; dot with butter. Top with remaining pastry; flute edges and cut slits in top. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Sprinkle sugar on top. Bake at 375 for 35 minutes. Increase temperature to 400 and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, or until golden.

Our Favorite Sweet Potato Casserole
I found this recipe in a Taste of Home Magazine years ago and have never tried anything else since. We (or at least those of us who like sweet potatoes) LOVE this recipe! It's one of our Thanksgiving favorites.
Sweet Potato Bake
Ingredients for a 9x13 dish:
6 cups mashed sweet potatoes (About 1 medium sized sweet potato makes 1 cup. Peel, cube and boil until tender -just like you would regular potatoes)
2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 stick of butter or margarine (1/2 cup), softened
6 eggs
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
4 T. cold butter or margarine
In a mixing bowl, beat sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, salt and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a greased 9x13 baking dish. (You can also mix this part quickly in a food processor.)
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour, cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over potato mixture. (You can also add chopped pecans to this mixture.)
Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
This is very delicious hot but also good cold.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
